Optimize the Value Chain from Extraction to Metal Delivery

US mining and metals companies must balance production targets, equipment reliability, operating costs, environmental responsibilities, and supply chain resilience. Volatile commodity markets, complex materials flows, and dependence on specialized equipment can make it difficult to maintain consistent performance across sites.

Supply chain resilience is particularly relevant to critical minerals. The U.S. Geological Survey's 2025 List of Critical Minerals assesses minerals important to the US economy and national security whose supply chains may be vulnerable to disruption.

Connected SAP systems can help organizations improve visibility into materials, coordinate production and maintenance, and make better-informed operational decisions.

Key challenges include:

Supply chain volatility: Improve visibility into raw materials, suppliers, inventory, commodity-related costs, and logistics.
Equipment reliability: Coordinate maintenance plans, spare parts, inspections, and asset information to support equipment availability.
Production efficiency: Connect production planning, material availability, and execution data to identify bottlenecks and improve throughput.
Safety and environmental management: Support structured processes for risk management, incident reporting, and environmental data, based on applicable requirements.
Disconnected operational systems: Integrate ERP, maintenance, production, warehouse, and industrial data systems to reduce information gaps.
Cost and profitability control: Connect operational performance with financial information to support more accurate cost analysis and planning.

LeverX helps organizations assess their existing SAP landscape and design an approach that reflects their operational needs, technology environment, and business goals.
